English I students worked on their parts-of-speech review for the first bit of class, learning about indefinite pronouns and how they’re slippery fellows, sometimes transforming themselves into adjectives.

Afterward, students worked on their “Cask”/”Necklace” writing.

English 8 students finished up the first article we’re doing in a unit on argumentative reading and writing. We’ll be working on a second article next week.

Homework

• English 8: 
  • complete the vocabulary work for “expansive” (sixth period);

• English I Honors:
